rough draft speech

Everyone here has something income with the other ninety students sitting around them waiting to graduate and start their new lives. Everyone of them made the choice to be different and leave all that they new behind and take a chance. We made it our goal to be unique with our choice of education and high school experience. The plunge into the unknown and make it the very best that we could. We aren't just graduating from any high school, we are graduating from the high school that we helped shape and mold. By putting ourselves into this school and taking in all it had a long with giving back to it. We will leave this second home with our heads held high ready to take on anything the world will through at us because I have already shown how strong we really are. Of course there were times when we had the best days of school and the times when all we wanted to do was drop everything and go home. Yet here we are, nothing but near steps away from our new lives and bright futures. Haven taken our first steps off the bus first day of school to cramming for proficiency exams, learning to drive into freedom, dancing at prom and making forever lasting friendships. This wasn't just another school that we needed to go to, not another cookie cutter school this was our kingdom, our tool for the future, our second family. Family spelled AACT.

Another Essay 1st draft

Everyone starts out with a dream and throughout life they go through the steps to either get towards that dream or somehow just a bit further from it. In my life I believe I've taken the correct steps to be able to fulfill my dream and to expand on it. This started for me when I went to the Academy of Arts, Careers and Technology. They helped me figure out what I wanted to do with my life by showing me all the options that I had. I figured out that I wanted to become a graphic designer and that I wanted to further my education in a school in San Francisco to pursue my dream. I'm greatly appreciate that I was able to find my dream at such a young age because most people in life never really figure out what they want to do with their life and how they're going to reach goals they set themselves. My school has given me a bilities to be able to go after my dreams. Being a senior in high school I'm glad that I was able to line up all the stuff I needed to do to be able to go after my dreams. Such as taking classes and learning the information that I need to further what I want to do with my life. My dream first started out with my engineering classes but then they branched off and started taking graphic design and animation classes at my school which has opened up my eyes to the new path I want to take. I'm grateful to be able to have such dreams and goals to pursue. One day hopefully soon I will be exactly where I want to be to further my dreams and goals even more.

Abstract Paragraph

For my English class we needed to write an abstract paragraph for our capstone project. It is a project that i have done for my senior year that will branch off into my future. Which is going to San Francisco to study web design and new media, I am really excited and hope that this is a good paragraph for it.

Aspiring Design for the Future

            My senior capstone project was signing up for a pre-college course at the Academy or Arts University in San Francisco. I was able to take four classes that count as units towards my freshman year at college. I acquired four points so far and once I do the spring course I will have six units for myself. I took a class in figure drawing, introduction to comic book illustration, photography and introduction to visual design. My courses over the summer lasted for 15 weeks or modules as they were called by the program. Once I finished the course I received a certification for doing the program and I was able to have my fee for admission into the college waived for taking this course. I learned many things from taking this course such as better drawing techniques, photography skills and more skills with adobe software.

Steps that I have taken:

1.      I enrolled in the summer pre-college program(four classes max)

2.      Picked the classes that I want that would be beneficial to the field that I want to go into

3.      Participated in online discussions

4.      Book work on the subjects

5.      Did the homework for the classes by the time each module was over

6.      Completed 15 modules

7.      Signed up for the spring pre-college program(two classes max)

8.      Still need to pick my classes

9.      Then I will have to do the module work

10.  Finish 

Elks Essay

A day that I will always appreciate is the day that I stepped up to be a leader for my service learning project. We were given the task to go out into the community and find an issue we felt we could help change or doing something that we felt the community needed. I found what the community needed, which was a garden for the students of Smith Ridge Elementary to use and that the community would be able to use. I met with teachers from that area and we went over what kind of plans that they wanted for their garden. I took those ideas and designed a garden that they were happy with.

 I recruited students from my school to come and help out with the construction of the garden. It felt great to get students from my school and from the elementary school to come out and work together. I felt like a good leader because I just didn't tell them what they needed to do I also did the work with them which made the feeling of being out there even more fulfilling because I got the satisfaction of helping with the design and the building of the garden. It was very inspiring for me because I was able to take knowledge from my studies and apply them to really world applications and help out the community. I learned that I have skills that I can offer to the community to help make it a better one for the kids of the future. In making this garden there are many thing that the kids can learn from it, such as healthy eating, agriculture, social skills and plenty more. It did not only help the kids with their future but also with mine by showing that I do like to do design work, which has opened my eyes to wanting to further my education in design

.It has also made me more aware for my community and how I can keep helping it now and in the future. This was a wonderful experience for me because it really brought me out of my shell and helped me to step up and take charge of my life and has helped me to be more of a leader than I have been in the past. I am proud to be able to say that I have become a leader with the things in my life because most people never really go for being a leader even when their opportunity comes around and for me to be able to say that I did choose to be a leader is a magnificent thing.

Story Part 1

Once upon a time there was a greatly overzealous woman who started to go crazy after her late husband Fredrick D. Livington had died. He had been ill for quite some time before his passing, due to a hereditary disorder in his families’ blood line. No one was able to treat poor Mr. Livington and his wife started to become very desperate for a cure that could save his life. She had heard rumors around the Gelktonburg, their home town.  Mrs. Livington or Alice, as her friends called her, had heard about someone who might have been able to help her husband come back to life. She lived almost 900km outside of the nearest city and in being that far out she made the choice to go and find this mystery woman, getting ready to leave to the city to find more information about the person that might be able to help her in the resurrection of her husband. She was willing to go to any length to get her husband back because without him her life felt unbearable. The next morning Alice started her journey to the city at the crack of dawn in a cool brisk morning of fall. She took the best of their horse and rode all the way with as little stops as possible. She had reached the city of Swetich which was a very large city that was more advanced than most of the time. Alice wonder how she would one person in a city of this size, she search for days before actually coming across a name of a woman who might be the one she was looking for.

Thanksgiving!!

I am ready for Thanksgiving, I am excited to spend the time off that i get with my family and the fact that i get to help make all of the great food that we have for the dinner. We are going to have these egg things in the morning with gorilla bread which sounds amazing right now and we will probably have little snacks through out the day.Then for the dinner my mom will make a great turkey with her stuffing that is made from scratch and that just makes your mouth water when you look at it. Along with that we will have a great green bean casserole that has those on type of fried like onion strips on top of it that gives it a little something extra when you take that first bite into it. We will have mashed potatoes from scratch as well  and long with this AMAZING sweet potato dish that my mom makes. The first time that i had that i thought that is was some kind of pumpkins dish thing but I still loved it when i found out what it was. My mom will make an apple pie and my grandam will make gravy for the mashed potatoes and a few other things that are delicious as well which includes her pumpkin pie that she will be making for us. It is so wonderful to know that my family has all of these great traditions about what food to make and how to spend the day.One thing that i really love is our tradition of reading of a Thanksgiving poem that my mom has been telling us since I was a baby. Now that we all have grown she lets us all read a paragraph from it as it goes around the table then we all tell each other about what we are thankful for and why. It is great having to do this every year because no matter how much we all bug each other that never seems to matter when we are all together and having a great time.
